If you are a Medicaid recipient approved for home care and you are self directing, or have a person who is willing and able to be your administrator, contact your MLTC or DSS depending on your program participation to request enrollment in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). Once you have been approved for CDPAP, you can begin the process of hiring your personal assistant. Addus HomeCare can guide you. CDPAP allows you to hire friends or even some family members to assist you with your care. Ask our CDPAP specialist for details.
Addus HomeCare has been a New York State Fiscal Intermediary of choice since CDPAP was first offered as a pilot program in 1999. We are committed to assisting each consumer in achieving his/her goal, while encouraging independence.
Addus HomeCare has experience in all different aspects of home care and our healthcare team is friendly, knowledgeable and looking forward to helping you with the CDPAP process.
Your PA will need a physical within the past year, proof of immunizations, a PPD, health assessment and your PA must be able to legally work in the United States. Applications with all current information and requirements can be sent upon request.
